Extant studies have empirically tested the main two behavior responses following ostracism: prosocial or antisocial. Few studies have investigated the relationship between ostracism and social withdrawal. According to the temporal need-threat model and the self-verification theory, the present study aimed to examine the influence mechanism of ostracism on social withdrawal, especially the mediating role of self-esteem and the moderating role of rejection sensitivity. A total of 1,315 Chinese high school students (52.6% female) completed a written questionnaire. Results showed that ostracism was positively correlated with social withdrawal. Ostracism not only directly predicted social withdrawal, but also indirectly affected social withdrawal by threatening adolescents' self-esteem. High rejection sensitivity may help aggravate adolescents' self-esteem threaten perceive from ostracism. Adolescents with high rejection sensitivity felt a greater threat to self-esteem when ostracized. Findings suggest a new direction for understanding individuals' responses to ostracism.
亲社会或反社会。很少有研究调查过被排斥与社交退缩之间的关系。根据时间需求-威胁模型和自我验证理论，本研究旨在探讨被排斥对社交退缩的影响机制，尤其是自尊的中介作用和拒绝敏感性的调节作用。共有1315名中国高中生（52.6%为女生）完成了一份书面问卷。结果显示，被排斥与社交退缩呈正相关。被排斥不仅直接预测社交退缩，还通过威胁青少年的自尊间接影响社交退缩。高拒绝敏感性可能会加剧青少年从被排斥中感知到的自尊威胁。被排斥时，具有高拒绝敏感性的青少年会感到更大的自尊威胁。研究结果为理解个体对被排斥的反应提供了一个新方向。
